Facebook does not know my phone number right now and I want to keep it that way. As soon as I installed either one of the Messenger app of Facebook app then they could make the connection between my phone and my account.
Then they can next start seeing who else has my phone number on their phone and start showing them my Facebook account in their suggested friends list. And this will be how my abusive family will find me.
But Messenger can break that privacy for me. When using messenger from Facebook on my phone, does this mean everything I have put on my computer will be on my phone!? Or is Facebook just there to use just messenger and does not have all the other stuff on my phone!? In order to be an effective anti-virus software, a lot of permissions are needed. For example, if your anti-virus asks for access to the microphone but not SMS and call logs viruses can record data there then you should avoid that anti-virus like the plague.
Do these apps retain permissions if you disable them in your general privacy settings after installing the apps? For example, I have disabled almost everything in my privacy settings for all apps except a few permissions when certain apps are in use, like location services for Google Maps, for obvious reasons….
Yes, the phone should honor whatever privacy settings you set after installing the apps. The only times I think those would change is if you manually changed the settings again or if the app itself asked for permissions to use something again and you granted it permissions.
Thanks for the comment Peter! They are so dodgey….. I agree,Alex! It sounds like bull to me. I do not use Skype,Snap chat,Instagram etc.
Was really surprised about the AVG permissions, my husband uses this and is usually quite savvy about downloading apps that require dodgy permissions. However, you do wonder why some apps like AVG need so many of those permissions! Who knows to be honest. Sounds suspicious. So should I be worried? Also, the SMS permission stinks like a trojan horse.
Yeah, right. Hi Alex! I will update my article to reflect those changes soon. Thanks for the comment! I do not have Facebook app or messenger app, nor do I want them. I do not see the need to be always connected to virtual strangers. I prefer to slchoose to log in. I do not see the need to allow strangers to call me at will.
The ones who I want to stay connected with know how to reach me. Thanks for your reply Angella! Everything seems to appear identically as what I see when using my laptop. I was scared of the permissions of that app from the get-go.

Hi Eric, Reading the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy is always a good idea with any company if people are concerned about the privacy of their data. This is very interesting. Thanks for all of the info. How did THAT happen??? Seems a bit heavy-handed to me. No, they are purely interested in monetization of my personal information.
These updates are a sly way of installing bloated crap. You are welcome, JMT! Method 1. Open Facebook Messenger. It's the blue chat bubble icon with a white lightning bolt inside. You'll find it on your home screen or in the app drawer Android.
If you're not signed in, follow the on-screen instructions to sign in now. Tap the contacts icon. It's the icon that looks like a bullet list at the bottom of the screen. It's to the right of the large blue circle. Tap Active. It's near the top of the screen. This displays a list of everyone who's active on Messenger. If a friend is online, you'll see a green circle on top of their profile image. Method 2. This is Facebook's official Messenger app.

If you can see the person in real life, just ask them! LOOK — there is no legal way of checking real status, anything you run wont work because when messenger blocks you, it blocks by IP — the only chance of it working is to do it on a computer you have never logged into messenger on. Block-checker does work, but theres no point.
If someones blocked u, unless theyre a really close friend, u can hardly go up to them and be like yo, why did u block me without looking like a stalker or something. Just makes u feel crappy knowing that someone did. All of this is a bunch of bull crap. None of those links work people!! Its just a bunch of crap. Either should you. Just chill, and be chilled. I have deleted and blocked someone but every day I am getting them add me to their contact list 2 to 3 times..
This follows abusive language behaviour on their part. Hi there folks, Vancouver Canada, saying hello. If you want all your instant messaging info go to this link.
